BGP Swim Team - Week 1

May 1st

Hello BGP Swim Team Families!

Thank you for signing your children up for the BGP Stars 2021 Season! We currently have a total of 86 swimmers from 54 families and we suspect/hope this will grow after our first week. If you have friends in the neighborhood who haven't signed up yet, encourage them to join! We can't wait to get to know everyone poolside. Please read below for important information regarding our season.

Coaching

We're thrilled to announce our awesome coaching team that will be leading us to victory this year!

Head Coach: Kallie Steelman
Assistant Coaches: Patrick Greaney & Evan Steelman
Junior Coaches: Luke Burke, Caroline Haynes, Sebastian Le, & Ryan Stubbs

Practice

Our first practice is on Monday, May 3. For specific information regarding exact times for your age group(s), please reference this practice schedule. Please warn your swimmers that the water can be chilly the first couple of weeks of practice!

Important Dates

May 6 - Texas Swim Shops at practice with suits to try on
June 1 - First day of morning practice
June 5 - First Swim Meet at the Walnut Bend pool
For all remaining event dates, head here!

Texas Swim Shops at Practice THURSDAY

They will have team suits to try on to help you figure out sizing before you order. The shop has asked that all suits be tried on over dry swimsuits, so please come a little early to practice. Susan is amazing at guessing sizes just by looking at them, so try ons may not be necessary! She will be at the pool from 3:45-5:45.

Yard Signs

If you ordered these with your registration, they will be available at the pool to pick up next week! If you'd like to purchase one, you may do so here at the team store.

Volunteer Opportunities

This team would not exist without our volunteers! We will be reaching out shortly with your volunteer assignment onto one of our committees (t-shirts, parties, sponsors, awards, etc.). We also ask that everyone helps out poolside at each of our meets. We have many different opportunities listed that you'll be able to sign up for when RSVPing your swimmer for each meet.

Swim Meets

It is very important that we know if your children will be attending each meet so that we can make sure they are entered into the correct events. The earlier you RSVP, the easier the process (which takes hours!) will be for everyone involved. You must RSVP for each meet!

Weather/Time Changes

Any practice changes or important information will be sent via the SwimTopia app. If you have this downloaded, you'll receive a notification from the app, otherwise you'll receive an email. Please note that we DO swim in the rain, but do NOT swim when lightning & thunder are present.

Let us know if you have any questions! See you at the pool!
